Embracing Sustainability: “Humana LT” Journey Towards a Greener Future

In today’s ever-changing business landscape, many companies have come to acknowledge the paramount importance of sustainability. As we delve into discussions and peruse the annual reports of these organizations, we witness a clear demonstration of their commitment to adopting concrete measures and innovative approaches to fortify their sustainability efforts. Nonetheless, it is undeniable that achieving this feat is a challenging task. 

An inspiring example of a company dedicated to sustainability is our esteemed partner, “Humana LT”, which has been a cornerstone of Lithuania’s business community for 25 years. Their noble mission revolves around combating the fashion industry’s detrimental impact on the environment, which is responsible for a staggering 10% of global carbon dioxide emissions. They have adopted a remarkable approach by selling second-hand clothing and donating significant proceeds to support struggling third-world countries. They consistently strive to explore new avenues to becoming an even more sustainable representative of the circular economy. 

“Every year, we contemplate what more we can do to improve. Sustainability is our top priority. We strive to minimize our environmental impact using more sustainable and efficient systems. We did not doubt the idea when we heard about the opportunity to install our solar power plant. We were aware of the benefits of renewable energy and wanted to be part of it,” says Oerjan Oesterdal, the general manager of “Humana LT.” 

Did this solar power project meet your energy production and cost savings expectations? 

“I can confidently say that it did meet our expectations, and we have seen a significant change. This investment particularly pleased us during months when electricity prices were notably high. Our solar project generated enough electricity to meet our needs and allowed us to save,” shares Egidijus, the warehouse manager of “Humana LT.” 

Were you satisfied with the “Eternia Solar” specialists’ work and the installation process? 

“Yes, we were satisfied. The process went smoothly, and the specialists addressed all our questions and promptly resolved any issues. We can definitely recommend “Eternia Solar”.” 

Your business is directly linked to the circular economy, and you consistently strive to find new sustainability initiatives. Could you share your upcoming plans? 

“We give around 94% of the clothing a second life, while the remaining 6% is incinerated. However, we aim to reduce this number further. Our upcoming plan includes acquiring a textile shredder. We plan to shred the remaining clothes and provide them to cement production later. This will be another crucial step in our mission.”
